Post 82 (13-1) won its eighth straight game with another strong pitching effort, this time with Chandler Young and Jalen Byrd combining to keep the Ohio visitors in check.

Cleanup hitter Jay Seagle led the seven-hit Shelby attack with three hits. He had a triple and a bunt single among his contributions against Steubenville lefty Nick Zorne.

“He didn’t throw that hard but he was picking the corner and going off-speed,” said Seagle. “You had to look to go the other way.

“On the (RBI) triple, it was a fastball he left up. I tried to go the other way because he wasn’t coming inside.”

Shelby trailed early, 1-0, after Steubenville mounted a two-out rally in the first. Post 82 scored three times in the second with Jackson Mims, who had two hits on the night, providing a RBI single, then a throwing error and wild pitch letting the other two cross.

Steubenville cut it to 3-2 in the third when it took advantage of a Shelby error. Cody Fitch’s two-out RBI single in the third pushed Post 82’s margin back to 4-2.

In the sixth, Nick Hastings singled home a run and Seagle brought in the final run on his triple to the right-centerfield gap.

“We don’t have just one guy we have to depend on and that takes the pressure off all of us,” Seagle said of the Post 82 offense. “Different people are stepping up.

“We haven’t played our best yet. We’re trying to play a little bit better each game out.”

Young and Byrd limited the opposition to only six hits. Young worked four innings to get the win, despite having to sit nearly 25 minutes for a lightning delay after facing one batter in the fourth.

Byrd notched a save with three scoreless innings, striking out five in the process.

Steubenville got two and two RBI from Pat Pizzoferrato. Zorne went the distance on the mound, giving up four earned runs.

Gaffney, S.C., 6, Napoleon, Ohio, 0: Gaffney's Alex Raines carried a no-hitter into the fourth inning and finished with a two-hitter for the win in the opening game of the day.
